When not to argue with a meat eater


Today while I was out with my family, we went grocery shopping and we're going to pick up a pancake mix; for a breakfast this week. My family stated that I would have to eat eggs in order for them to make the pancakes because that is the only way you can make pancakes. Right then at the exact moment I bit down my tongue knowing that it was one of those moments in life that test you about your beliefs and way of life.

I decide that this was not the argument that would be worth the hard time and mental thinking to get my point across. However I guess that it was one of those days that I had to get my point across about vegans being able to eat the same things as meat eaters. This wasn't my first run in with this argument I have avoid it once before , because I don't like to push my thoughts on to other about my beliefs nor prove myself either. 

This argument  started about with how I like baking, and my family  chimed in will you can't bake without eggs. Oh boy that was when I was like man the ship for all weapons it's time to go to war. I was locked and load . 

See I used my knowledge to make sure that I could backup my argument , but about the baking apart that was the beginning. The argument ended today in the store over the pancake mix, after I stood their looking at my family while they were shopping for pancake mix. I just said look I am not going to argue about this anymore, if you don't believe then don't but their are facts backup me showing that it is possible for vegan's to make pancake mix with ANY eggs,honey, or milk.

I have a feeling that this argument may come back, but what I really learned is that if you believe in something . Sometime it is important to argue your point and sometime it is not. Which leads me to the title of this post when not to argue with a meat eater. I choose it simply because I live in the land of meat and potatoes ; I have to learn when to choose my battles.

Have you ever had an experience like this or anything similar?

Zombies or Snot

I know that the title isn't the best but hey what can you say when it's the first thing that comes to mind. I recently posted that I was out sick, and I was. It felt like I was a zombie just going through the motions of living but not being able to enjoy it. 


I had caught a stomach virus that was going around, in fact it was in the news. They went over on how to avoid it and prevent it from happening in your family. Which I think in my opinion they posted this a little too late, I lost about 30 dollar worth of groceries because they went bad by me being sick.


It's been almost a week and I am now starting to eat real food besides the B.R.A.T diet. Which most of us would know isn't that fun, it's very limited. I am glad to be able to eat miso soup and a salad with ginger dressing from Sushi Hana , it's now my favorite meal. 


It feels nice to be blogging again, but I know that this isn't a review of anything vegan nor vegan related. However while I was sick I got a couple cookbooks on one of the days I was feeling better, so I'll show those soon.


 Right now I am still not interested in food because I am not completely better,once I am my posts will be my regular schedule one's and even more home cooked food. I decided that's the only way to make sure that I don't get sick like this again. 


Any suggestion's for food that is flavorful but will work with a stomach virus?
